Question

When i try to

$ make depend -f gcc.mak

a middleware on my Ubuntu machine I get this

/usr/include/../include/limits.h:125:26: error: no include path in which to search for limits.h

This is the contents around limits.h:125:

/* Get the compiler's limits.h, which defines almost all the ISO constants.

    We put this #include_next outside the double inclusion check because
    it should be possible to include this file more than once and still get
    the definitions from gcc's header.  */
#if defined __GNUC__ && !defined _GCC_LIMITS_H_
/* `_GCC_LIMITS_H_' is what GCC's file defines.  */
# include_next <limits.h>
#endif

I tried setting

$ export INCLUDE=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3/include-fixed/
$ export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3/include-fixed/
$ export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3/include-fixed/

(which is where I found another limits.h on my system). I already have libc6-dev installed, could it be that its limits.h has been overwritten by another package? Do I need another -dev package? Or is an environment variable required; perhaps this could be circumvented in some other way?

Answer 1

the package that you need is glibc.
